I hate April fools. It's not universally celebrated so it's always unclear what is actually a prank.


As a day for putting whoopy cushions on people's chairs, I don't have a problem with it. But the way it's celebrated online, basically as "fake news day", is obnoxiously lame and uniformly unfunny.


April Fools pranks cause the needless suffering and anxiety of many for the joy of one person. I especially hate IT and work-related pranks.
